Chunky Chicken, Pearl Barley & Vegetable Soup
Method
Layer Ingredients: Add the diced swede, carrot, celery, leek, rinsed pearl barley, and dried thyme directly into your electric soup maker jug.
Add Stock: Pour over the chicken stock, ensuring the liquid covers the ingredients without exceeding the jug's maximum fill line.
Start Cycle: Secure the lid and select the Chunky hot soup setting (approx. 28 minutes).
Finish & Serve: Once the program finishes, stir through the shredded chicken and fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper, then let sit for 2 minutes before serving.
Cooking Hack: Pearl barley is a gut-friendly, low-GI grain that naturally thickens the broth; rinse it thoroughly under cold water before cooking to remove excess starch and prevent it sticking to the heating plate.
